WHY WE EXIST:

"We can only protect what we love and we can only love what we know" - Jacques Cousteau In order to protect our oceans, we have to involve our local communities, in particular the youth. We started off with a small group of kids from the local fishing community of Hangberg who came to join our Nippers programs. However, we soon realized that most of the kids from our local communities did not know how to swim and did not have a strong connection with the ocean. We wanted to rectify that and to find a way to serve our community whilst making a tangible impact on the health of the ocean.

The three main challenges we identified was:

• Lack of ocean-based opportunities for the youth of these coastal areas

• A disconnect between these communities and the natural world

• Lack of ocean knowledge and practical swimming skills

In partnership with Parley For The Oceans we are addressing these challenges and creating a safe space for vulnerable youth from which to experience and fall in love with the ocean through ocean education, ocean immersion, and ocean connection. Through our programs we are both uplifting our community, developing skills, improving mental health and well-being and raising awareness for the beauty and fragility of our oceans.

Mission Statement: Sentinel Ocean Alliance is an initiative of Parley For The Oceans. We provide a safe space to empower our youth through development programs and environmental initiatives. Our programs have a focus on skills development, mentorship and education to help cultivate a love and respect for the ocean.

Vision:
The goal of Sharks4Kids is to create the next generation of shark advocates through education, outreach and adventure.

Mission:
Sharks4Kids provides dynamic and engaging opportunities for students to learn about sharks. This includes free educational resources, field trip opportunities, hands-on STEM learning experiences, Virtual Reality shark dives and classroom presentations ( in person and virtual). All our materials and experiences connect students with shark science and facts. Kids are powerful and can make an impact, we just need to empower and inspire them. We connect students directly with marine biologists, conservationists and educators who are all working in and around the ocean. Kids as a stakeholder are far too often overlooked, but are extremely powerful. They can influence change in their homes, schools and communities. They give us hope. These materials and experiences are helping us change fear to fascination.

About Thresher Shark Indonesia
Thresher Shark Indonesia is an initiative that was initially started in 2018 by Indonesian young conservationists. Starting from a single project, now we’re an established Indonesian Non-Profit under the Teman Laut Indonesia Foundation. Our goal is to protect the declining and endangered thresher shark population in Indonesia.

Our Mission:
Conserve thresher sharks at Alor, East Nusa Tenggara, by providing policy recommendations through the studies of satellite and acoustic tagging technology, underwater surveys as well as providing alternative livelihood solutions for sharkdependent communities in Indonesia.

Our Vision:
Working closely with local communities, governments, businesses, scientists, filmmakers, and other NGOs to develop long-term solutions that protect endangered shark species and its species, as well as respect the rights of local people to livelihoods.

Our Location:
Alor Island, East Nusa Tenggara is a small island region of Indonesia where communities are depending on pelagic thresher shark populations as subsistence livelihoods. We work with Alor communities to understand the socio-economic importance of pelagic thresher sharks. As a growing tourism destination, particularly for underwater diving, the Alor region is now seeking to value the endangered pelagic thresher shark. Together with communities and the government, we are working on the potential to develop this species as a future tourism attraction for conservation and as a way to maintain the livelihoods of people.

Our Project:
The Alor Island, located within the Pantar Strait Marine Protected Area (MPA), is a crucial habitat for marine ecosystems in the Lesser Sunda Seascape (LSS) - a region of the highest marine biodiversity importance in the coral triangle. Thresher Shark Indonesia has been working on Alor Island since 2018 to preserve the endangered thresher shark population and empower coastal communities, including local youth, through the Thresher Shark Conservation Champion initiative. Our current project is to integrate marine conservation into curriculum of ten schools across Pura Island and the Northwest Alor coastal area. By fostering stewardship among the children, this project aims to make them the future guardians of Alor's marine ecosystem.

Our Vision

Our vision is to nurture a sense of responsibility and custodianship towards the ocean within the coastal communities of Mozambique – as well as to empower them to be the necessary agents of change in their communities. We believe that by investing in the children, we are investing in the future of our society.

Our Approach

Our locally trained Turn-the-Tide Instructors take groups of school children from the Inhaca communities through an 8 week ocean education programme - where they learn about understanding and being mindful about both themselves and of others as well as of their ocean and coastal environment. Our children learn swimming skills and about reading the ocean and basic water safety.

Our Impact

We work closely with communities to understand their needs and create sustainable solutions. We have currently trained up 21 young adults from Inhaca as Turn-the-Tide Ocean Therapy Instructors, 5 of which we employ full time and another 8 act as reserves to fill in for an absent instructor and to assist with larger events.60 local children from the Inhaca High School (ages 11 - 15) have completed their Turn-the-Tide programmes Inhaca Ocean Alliance has become a presence on Inhaca Island and is starting to be consulted by local and investing businesses for sustainable input into future projects.

Mission:

Friends of the Environment (FRIENDS) is a Bahamian non-profit organization with a mission to preserve the environment of Abaco, The Bahamas through education, conservation, and research facilitation. FRIENDS was established in 1988 by forward-thinking Abaco residents with a vision to see more sustainable use of Abaco’s natural resources.

That vision guides and inspires the work of the organization as they strive to help more Bahamians connect with their environment and empower them to facilitate change. To date, the organization has led over 26,000 students in environmental education experiences, including summer camps, after school clubs, science fairs, and school programs. FRIENDS believes that providing students with knowledge and experiences to support a greater understanding and connection with the environment will lead to more responsible use of the environment and encourage future environmental ambassadorship in our communities.

FRIENDS strives to build partnerships to encourage conservation and research to benefit Abaco’s environment and communities and plays a valuable role in logistical support, coordination, and outreach. Key projects currently include post-Dorian mangrove restoration and coastal cleanups. In addition to community-based programming, FRIENDS has also established a campus in Central Abaco which provides office space for non-profits, educational facilities, multi-purpose spaces for community events, and housing and lab space for research and community service.

Fundacíon Cuatro Estrellas

Fundácion Cuatro Estrellas is a non-profit based in the community of Cabarete, a town near  Puerto Plata on the northwest coast of the Dominican Republic.  (…)

Theory of Change:

Fundácion Cuatro Estrellas is a non-profit based in the community of Cabarete, a town near Puerto Plata on the northwest coast of the Dominican Republic. Cabarete is known as the windy capital of the Caribbean, attracting a large crowd of windsurfers, surfers, kiters, wingers, and tourists all coming to enjoy the beautiful beaches, waves, and wind. The foundation predominantly serves the community of Cabarete, however has conducted a variety of projects and efforts in neighboring communities as well.

Although the tourism industry is growing in Cabarete, the wealth disparities and access to necessities are ever-present issues faced by many vulnerable populations within the community. The efforts of Fundácion Cuatro Estrellas address the need for food security, housing security, and expanding access to the watersports industry for the youth of Cabarete.

Fundácion Cuatro Estrellas provides food donations to families, especially identified vulnerable groups such as the elderly and youth populations, to address food insecurity within the community. By equipping these individuals with the basic need for balanced nutrition, families are then able to find success and stability within other elements of the community and their professional lives.

The nonprofit also provides housing to families within the community through various projects aimed at constructing and repairing homes. With the increased cost of materials and labor following the pandemic, the nonprofits’ efforts equip community members with a safe home for themselves and their families to ensure that housing is not an obstacle to their lives and success.

As professional windsurfers, the founders of Fundácion Cuatro Estrellas want to share their passion for the water with the youth of Cabarete. The nonprofit aims to use the Turn the Tide program to increase access to these activities in the water that tend to have several barriers to entry for locals. Through the training and employment of local instructors, the community's kids are taught to swim, surf, and practice mindfulness through various activities incorporating collaboration, comradery, and marine conservation advocacy. This program provides an interdisciplinary approach that empowers children to experience watersports, practice mindfulness, and become stewards of the sea and community. The goal is that by introducing the kids of the Cabarete community to the joys of being on the water, the program is inspiring the next generation of instructors, ocean conservationists, and community stewards.


Mission statement:
Our mission is to empower underserved communities by providing them with the essential tools to care for their needs and live a happy and fulfilled life. We provide food to populations struggling with food insecurity, supply materials and labor for those in need of housing, and empower the youth of the community to pursue watersports and engage with the local community. Our efforts are aimed at providing a secure and blossoming community by assisting those who find difficulty meeting their needs and feel disconnected from the community and life on the water.

The Papahānaumokuākea Marine Debris Project (PMDP) is a U.S. 501(c)(3) non-profit organization created to protect the sensitive wildlife and critical habitats of the Papahānaumokuākea Marine National Monument (Northwestern Hawaiian Islands) from the threats of marine debris.

PMDP conducts annual large-scale cleanups of marine debris from the remote and uninhabited islands and coral reefs of the Papahānaumokuākea Marine National Monument (northwestern Hawaiian Islands). Removing ghost nets and harmful ocean plastics from this sensitive ecosystem gives the wildlife there the best chance of survival. Over 70% of all US coral reefs are contained in this remote end of the Hawaiian island chain, which provides habitat for over 7000 different species of animals, including 23 endangered species. As one of the worldʻs most remote protected areas, Papahānaumokuākea should be a model for what pristine ecosystems should look like. Instead, it is a "canary in the coal mine" for the sheer scale of the global marine debris problem, with over 115,000 pounds of ghost net accumulating on the reefs there annually. Endangered Hawaiian monk seals (of which there are only 1400 left), and threatened green sea turtles are particularly impacted by this marine debris, routinely becoming entangled or dying of ingestion. PMDP is the only entity currently conducting cleanup operations in Papahānaumokuākea, and as such, the work that we do is of extra importance. Our goal is to match the rate of accumulation to the rate of removal by 2026 to ensure safe and healthy habitats for all wildlife.

Despite science-driven disruptive technological breakthroughs, the science of living well in the modern world lags behind. Science is slow to change, and scientists are slow to advocate for change. What we are witnessing today is the inability of science, technology, and politics to prevent the negative planetary consequences of an advanced industrial society.

Modern science’s gold standard is a mechanistic understanding of existing phenomena that then leads to control for profitable production in the current worldwide economy. A future that frees humanity from a life dominated by buying, selling, and consuming is utopian and cannot be tested. Yet, the amazing accomplishments of the existing society make utopia not only possible, but necessary. Overabundance and extreme poverty cannot continue to exist side by side in a “flat,” connected world. The harm created by disruptive innovation over the last two centuries is irrefutable, but science wants to prove harm in each individual case before taking remedial action, as preventing potential harm is too theoretical. However, when threats come at you from innumerable aspects of our “civilized” world, theoretical approaches become necessary. Change can start by adopting four basic strategies: 1. Take preventative action in the face of uncertainty; 2. Shift the burden of proof to proponents of an activity; 3. Explore the widest range of possible alternatives; and 4. Increase public participation in decision-making.

Given our power to both control and degrade the natural environment that supports us, we must stop ignoring caution in the name of progress and economic growth. The Moore Institute for Plastic Pollution Research will provide accurate data on global plastic pollution while advocating for fundamental change in the system that produces it.

Our Mission: The Moore Institute for Plastic Pollution Research is a non-profit organization dedicated to expanding knowledge surrounding the impact of plastic pollution on our environment, through focusing on micro- and nano- plastics research and their threat to the Biosphere worldwide.

Coastal Crusaders community interest company utilises the natural beauty and unique activities that Cornwall our community, has to offer. Working with the local authority, schools and other not for profit organisations in our area. Our learning and sports are delivered at the beach, in the ocean, at schools and across various outdoor locations throughout Cornwall.

We mentor and encourage our participants to try new things, push beyond individual comfort zones, be resilient and give it their all, while improving focus through breath, learning new skills and in doing so, raising levels of confidence as they overcome challenges and achieve goals.

A large percentage of our work is creating opportunities for members of the community who can’t always access therapeutic natural activities un-supported, through financial hardship, lack of ambition, health, incorrect equipment and other personal challenges.

We are under no illusions that our natural playground will continue to be enjoyed forevermore and embrace opportunities to enhance the environment and mitigate climate change in the times ahead.

We are at the forefront of novel research to tackle globally important issues. For example, Coastal Crusaders are creating a method for an autonomous system to monitor coastal water quality and processes as a proxy for measuring habitat health. These habitats include salt marsh, seagrass and kelp forests. This work is in collaboration with Spaceport Newquay and the University of Portsmouth. Coastal Crusaders is also driving an exciting Cornwall-wide conservation and restoration initiative to conserve and restore Cornwall’s wetlands and their ecosystem services. These projects serve to improve ecosystem connectivity, with ecological and social uplift generated by nature-based solutions.

Mission Statement: Coastal Crusaders is a Community Interest Company committed to deliver education, creation of social environments, coupled with integration and advancements to health, fitness and interactivity . Under that umbrella, Coastal Crusaders drives Cornwall-wide ocean environmental projects addressing climate change, habitat resiliency to enhance coastal ecosystem services, nature-based solutions that link directly to SDG14 and the UN Decade of Ecosystem Restoration. Additionally, we use the AONB UNESCO World Heritage sites to deliver exciting and challenging ocean sports. This allows participants to immerse themselves in nature in a supported, encouraging environment.

Our Mission:
To advance our understanding of marine animals, especially the heavily impacted sharks and rays; to educate future scientists at the undergraduate and graduate levels; and to disseminate our research in order to improve public perception and conservation of sharks and other marine species.

Our Vision:
Over the past 30 years the Bimini Shark Lab has been a world leader in shark science and the training of young scientists. It is our vision to continue this past tradition, while also working towards ensuring opportunities in shark science are accessible to all.

Theory of Change:
BBFSF believes that effective marine conservation will require generations of stewardship from people of diverse backgrounds and life experiences. However, for many young people who do not live near the ocean, there are limited opportunities to see large charismatic marine species, such as sharks and rays, in their natural settings. We believe that these life changing experiences should be more accessible, and will help to inspire the future generation of marine conservationists. To attain this goal, we provide a platform for young students and scientists interested in marine sciences, and scholarships to help remove financial barriers which may be a limiting factor for aspiring shark scientists.

Mission:
Amazon Frontlines is battling the climate crisis by securing Indigenous Guardianship of the Amazon rainforest. We build power with Indigenous leaders to form a bulwark of resistance throughout the upper Amazon, working together deep in the forest, in our organizing center in northeastern Ecuador, and in the halls of power around the world.
Amazon Frontlines has forged a new model of conservation that empowers Indigenous communities with the tools, resources, and networks they need to secure their rights, protect their forests and rivers, and effectively counter the onslaught of extractive threats to their lands. We believe that the most effective and sustainable way to resist natural resource extraction in the Amazon is to empower those who have successfully defended this region for millennia.
We partner with Indigenous organizations and communities in the Upper Amazon to help them 1) Get control of their lands by securing land titles for millions of acres of forest and halting illegal activities through real-time forest monitoring; 2) Keep control of their lands by strengthening their collective rights through legal precedent and hard-hitting advocacy; 3) Thrive on their lands by working with Indigenous women and youth to build new alliances and incubate next generation education, livelihood and cultural recovery initiatives.

Currently, our projects deal with restoration of coral reef ecosystems via sexual (larval propagation) and asexual (micro-fragmentation), mitigation of coastal development (relocation of benthic fauna and seagrass beds), coral reef monitoring, and fishery management (ecological and socio-economic indicators for artisanal fisheries and community-based strategy for ghost fishing).
We have alliances with national and international partners as National Natural Park of Colombia, Universidad del Magdalena Universidad Jorge Tadeo Lozano, Oceanario Islas del Rosario, Diving Planet, SECORE International, Conservation International- Colombia, German Agency for International Cooperation (GIZ)-International Climate Initiative (IKI), Perry Institute for Marine Science, among others.

About us


FAU Harbor Branch Oceanographic Institute’s Queen Conch Lab (QCL) provides technology transfer throughout the Caribbean and Florida on the aquaculture of queen conch for research, education, and conservation. Our community-based work has a goal to help restore the species across its range through aquaculture, preservation and conservation of breeding populations, and teaching about the life cycle to all ages. This is why we have a vision for a queen conch farm in every Caribbean country

As a species, the conch plays an important role in seagrass ecosystems: as the conch grazes it keeps the seagrass clean and flourishing. This species has deep cultural significance within the communities of the Caribbean. It serves as a crucial protein source for local consumption and generates substantial revenue from harvests; in fact, whole communities have been formed around the existence of the species. Therefore, it is a core motivation for the QCL’s work to engage with the people who depend on the fishery.

The socioeconomic benefits of placing conch farms within communities to encourage workforce development, employment, training, and regional outreach, all with the goal of supporting restoration and forming new bonds with the queen conch, are considerable. Giving fisherfolk and community members a significant role to play in restoration, and valuing their practical knowledge, allows the QCL to transfer knowledge of the conch’s life cycle and the role it plays in the seagrass habitats with greater ease and trust.

Our Mission:

To grow queen conch for the sake of the species, ecosystem, and people who depend on the fishery.

The Sonia Nabeta Foundation (SNF) believes in an Africa where children with type 1 diabetes (T1D) have an equal chance at long, healthy, gainful and productive lives. SNF’s mission, therefore, is to reduce the hefty cost of treatment and to provide holistic healthcare and community support to children with T1D from low-income households in Africa.

For these underserved communities, SNF partners with Ministries of Health, local and global partners to implement several programs that address the whole child and their multiple determinants of health to achieve good clinical outcomes.
